After my post about Israeli tennis players who will be competing in the Davis Cup on Rosh Hashana, I was gratified to read about the Haifa soccer team who requested to play on a day other than Tisha B'Av.Maccabi Haifa to Play in Kazakhstan – But Not on the Fast
The Maccabi Haifa soccer team is to play against the Kazakh team, Aktobe, in Kazakhstan in the next stage of the play-offs for the European Cup.
After beating Ireland’s Glentoran team, Maccabi Haifa will be playing its first game against Aktobe on July 28th.Aktobe accepted a request by the team and also the Jewish community in Kazakhstan, which is led by Rabbi Yeshayah Cohen, and the director of the Euro-Asiatic Congress Alexander Mashkevitch, to play the game two days earlier than planned. The game was originally scheduled for July 30th, which is when Tisha B’Av, the fast of the Ninth of Av, will fall this year.
